I've never understood this. Turning is the process of removing material from the outer diameter. But how come all lathe operations also fall under "turning". Even though it's not proper English, I always say turning, facing, and boring are operations and that "lathing" is performing any of these operations.

 

Oh heeeyyy, thx you.

Sean just wants to turn tricks using his lathe.
